Effects of early activity intervention on intestinal motility recovery in patients after colorectal cancer surgery.
Article in World journal of gastrointestinal surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPostoperative ileus is a common complication after colorectal cancer surgery, affecting recovery quality and hospital stay duration. Early activity intervention, as an important component of enhanced recovery after surgery, requires systematic evaluation of its exact effects on intestinal motility recovery and multidimensional impact.
aimTo comprehensively investigate the effects of early activity intervention on intestinal motility recovery and related indicators in patients after colorectal cancer surgery.
methodsUsing a retrospective comparative study design, 80 patients who underwent colorectal cancer surgery in our hospital from August 2023 to December 2024 were retrospectively analyzed and divided into experimental and control groups with 40 patients each based on the postoperative care protocols they received. The control group had received routine postoperative care, while the experimental group had additionally received a systematic early activity intervention program, including bed-based passive activities within 6 hours post-surgery, active bed exercises from 6-24 hours, bedside activities from 24-48 hours, and in-ward walking after 48 hours. Assessment indicators were retrospectively collected from medical records and included intestinal motility recovery, inflammatory stress response, postoperative complications, enteral nutrition tolerance, pain scores, nursing workload, patient psychological state, sleep quality, and nursing satisfaction.
resultsThe experimental group demonstrated significantly shorter time to first flatus (48.2 ± 10.6 hours
conclusionEarly activity intervention is a safe and effective non-pharmacological measure that not only significantly promotes intestinal motility recovery in patients after colorectal cancer surgery but also reduces inflammatory response and postoperative pain, improves enteral nutrition tolerance, decreases postoperative complication rates, reduces nursing workload, improves patient psychological state and sleep quality, increases nursing satisfaction, and shortens hospital stay. This comprehensive intervention, being easy to implement and cost-effective, is worthy of widespread application in clinical practice.
